Our Community
Service Area
Hospice Mid-Northland provides specialist palliative care for patients living in the mid-north from Taupo Bay in the north to Towai in the south and from coast-to-coast, including South Hokianga. This represents a population of approximately 45,000. Our nursing and family support team travel at least 7,500km each month caring for around seventy-five people at any one time.
We are one of 38 Hospices affiliated with Hospice New Zealand.
Working Together
We work closely with people and businesses within our community to raise the funds necessary to continue our valued services. Hospice Mid-Northland needs at least $1.6M of funding each year. We receive 42% of our funding from the District Health Board (DHB) to provide specialist palliative care services and need to raise an additional $900,000 each year to continue to provide our wider service offer to the Mid-Northland community.
The Hospice Mid-Northland team work hard to raise funds through our four Hospice Shops, fundraising events, community grants and other initiatives such as Farming for Hospice, bequests and donations.
Kaumatua and Kuia
Hospice Mid-Northland would like to acknowledge the special relationship that we have with our Kaumatua and Kuia, who work closely with us, assiting us with special events and other initiatives that are integral to the successful operation of Hospice Mid-Northland in our community.
